Sharing some of my personal experience with this train when i travelled in it in march.
I stay nearly 15km away from pune station. So it's a very terrible & tough idea of even getting to pune jn before 5.30a.m. Those who hav personal vehicles,its great,bt those who rely on bus or auto,i suggest them to pre book a dial-cab one night advance. I had to spend my 400 bucks to stay in lodge for one night near pune jn. as it was impossible to reach jn from my home, in the early morning.
Tea,breakfast

was average bt service standard was good. Patronage was nearly 60-70% frm pune itself. The speed is mindblowing as per seeing the pitiful conditions of CR tracks b/w daund and gulbarga. Loco link was a brand new emd wdp4d. Coaches looked new from outside bt inside its average. But still neat & clean. Majority of time it arrives secundrabad nearly around 2p.m. I think one of the most punctual train of CR.
But The main problem here is with the Seats as these are not that cushioned as are in LHB coaches.

For People looking to travel from Pune/Mumabi to Bangalore, book ticket to Hosur (HSRA) and you may pay for the extension from to Bangalore (SBC) by approaching the TT before you reach Hosur(HSRA). This will cost you negligibly more but will provide PNRs in general quota which gets cleared easily

we railfans have spend a lot of time to learn these tips.. but making it public is not a good practise .(do u know railways never made such things public because they themselves know that some things are to kept secret) even the TTE does not know BP change.. his chart also do not have that information....one day we railfans will not get cnf tickets ...

this is best train for people boarding nearby to Lingampally. as it reaches around lingampally at around 2pm.. so need not catch other trains from Begumpet by unnecesaarily travelling in oppossite direction..
1) tickets are easily available.. and maximum waiting list is cleared at the time of charting.
2) fare is less as compared to hussain nagar (because of no superfast surcharge around Rs 30 per person in SL)
3)

Maximum people deboard at pune.. so mumbai bound passegers can easily have a sound sleep..
4) less stoppages
5) less congestion as intermediate passengers generally board the unreserved compartments ( 6 unreserved compartments)

PUNE: The Pune division of the Central Railway (CR) has collected a fine of Rs 5 crore from 94,354 commuters during the first six months of the year.
Railway officials fined passengers travelling without ticket or with unbooked luggage in their special drives under the guidance of Divisional Railway Manager Suneet Sharma.
In 2013, the Pune division had conducted a similar drive and collected a fine of Rs 4.3 crore from 78,791 passengers. “With rising footfall of passengers at the Pune railway station, the number of people trying to travel without tickets has also gone up," officials said.
